His statements and sentiments are identical to those of Bill Ayers and Noam Chomsky.

His statements were not those of somebody who embraces big government.

Notice the push to turn the young into vegans. You need protein at some important moments. The Commies always take control of food thereby controlling the people.

Ever notice that broke people aren’t very mobile and cannot purchase things they might need when nudge comes to shove?

Jeff:
You don’t post very often but, at what point does an American become a traitor when he reveals details of a government acting in direct contravention to the constitution?

How does one get that information to his fellow Americans without providing overwhelming evidence?

Said evidence is illegitimate under the constitution. So what is the big deal in exposing it?

Sure he exposed methodology and that will prove useful to enemies and competitors but, what other choice is there?

He becomes a traitor when he reveals far more to his country's two primary adversaries while hiding that fact and those documents from his fellow Americans.

From what I understand, Snowden had a very large number of stolen documents - far too many for him to review in detail to cull the ones most damaging to his country. He has cherry picked a handful to release to the press while, wittingly or unwittingly, passing on all of the rest to China and Russia, who in turn, will likely share portions with countries such as Iran and North Korea. American lives may well be lost as a result of his treachery.

Snowden could have released documents proving the NSA's overreach without endangering his fellow countrymen.

The government has no right to those documents or recordings in the first place.

The massive number of Tier 3 documents and files described in the article detail foreign and not domestic targets. These are the ones that Snowden did not reveal to his press contacts, however, he has likely provided the files to the Russians and Chinese. They are the ones that are so damaging. The Tier 3 files described contain exclusively foreign intelligence and thus certainly are not protected by U.S. laws.
